My birthday began with a short walk over the snowy streets to a coffee shop. They do not serve decaf and did not have sweet rolls, so I had a latte and Chocolate cheesecake for a late breakfast, a real celebration. I then made my way to school. After a couple of hours I did get my syllabus printed and feel fairly prepared for the beginning of my first class.
After that I went to the big shopping mall on the south side of town, the Acropolis. David, my department chair, need a coffee maker and I was looking for a Brita water filter. The shopping center includes a hockey rink and a mega store called Maxima, where we found most of what we needed and some that we realized that we needed.
Throughout the day I enjoyed greetings on Facebook from around the world. I have felt very loved.
The celebration of the day was dinner at a regional restaurant just down the block from my apartment. The setting was quaint, the company was stimulating and the food looked beautiful and tasted very good.
